Visioning with the NET - and Decolonial Intelligence
Most nations have needed to decolonise from the era of empires. Vet few have successfully shared their wealth and natural resouyrces with most of the peoples. Which are trhe few that have? If a nation's people you love has not successfully decolnised, which successful decolonial model could it have adopted. Resources at AIgames.solar
The original NET Neumann-Einstein-Turing
Although 3 generations apart, all of thge NET died in the mid 1950s 50 years after Einstein had published 1905's e=mcsquared which showed that nature's rules on energy and everything conflict with newtonian science the deeper your community depends on diverrsity, and health.
Without the NET , 2025 woiuld not have seen 10**18 more tech; yet because they were all sucked in to the race to beat hitler and stalinn from being first to nuclear bomb, the NET left us these gamepieces og 10*818 more computation, satellite communications and silicon valley netwirking
WHAT DOES AI DO?
75th year Neumann-Einstein-Turing dialogue: Economists & Media, & You?
AI, and exponentially accelerating tech, change every discipline and can enhance every human’s practice and productivity provided teaching is changed from examining people to learner-centric agency
20th C mediation of this dialogue was complicated by the sudden death of all of the NET. In mid 1950s Their expectations of their life’s work were the following:
*Change education and nature’s maths/maps – einstein 1905 e=mcsquared
*Design above zero-sum trades. Unlike consuming up things, sharing l.ikfe critical knowhow multiplies value in use. Outlast Hitler and Stalin ideologies: integrate local-global from communities up (see technical/scaling specification of entrepreneurial revolution; keep exploring sme supply chains and humanly deep community networking as an opposite force from top-down rule.)
*Systems compound conflicts especiially wherever they externalise adminstratuve responsibility. Mediate leadership debates beyond borders to vision human co-creativity ahead of three million-fold tech waves (that’s 10**18) more tech from design of computer, purpose of satellites, material science -celebration of Moores law’s silicon opportunity
*Stop making engineers and energy innovators nations’ most hated and wanted of peoples (the way they had all suffered)
*This mediation was further complicated by rival forces as to whether computation a be patented or open source; and the idea of valuing hi-trust transformational cooperation (all of the net had sided with open as mathematicians). Furthermore, while Switzerland was since 1865! The world’s agreed mediator of standards of telecoms (and electricity grids), the multilateral designs out of USA eg UN hq NY failed to bridge this as open engineering opportunity; worse the botched execution of EU from 1955 missed Switzerland’s potential unification of FIGNBL. (Please note in Kings English engineered and artificial are synonyms ever since 1760s Glasgow system mapping innovations planted by James Watt and Adam Smith)
JFK was the first world leader to value the NET’s intergenerational challenges. He chose at least three worldwide mapping opportunities: the purpose of space (satellites), the practice of peace corps facilitation across communities, triad interdependence of future health and wealth eg Ich bin ein Berliner
It was anticipated that English and Japanese data sovereignty would discuss this with JFKennedy at 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Assassination caused his absence. However, Japan and UK Royal families were at the cusp of jointly visioning:
***Computational design – 1963’s birth of IBM 360 (and Jensen!)
***Purposes of space (death of distance communications, data sharing)- 1964 Tokyo Olympics were first global celebration.
***The emergence of Moore’s Law – because of huge order from Japanese calculator manufacture – intel invented programable chip – hence engineering challenge of exponential quality improvement
Moreover. Prince Charles (UK envoy to 1964 Tokyo Olympics) found that the 2 pesky islands which had done most to empire over continents (1492-1776-1939) now had similar maps of reconciliation responsibilities. What cultural amends would Asia Rising need given deep historical data of how these twin empires had bordered up the world, particular Pacific coastal trades that had constrained productive development of two thirds of the human race who are Asian. Charles invited Sony’s Akio Morita to come be Japan’s first European inward investor starting with Wales!
We can see what happened from 1964:
The net’s vision successfully mediated Japan, S Korea, Taiwan HK and Singapore 1965-1975
The west coast initially Inte and Stanford alumni networks accelerated innovations across pacific (while Moore’s law offered 100 fold multiplier per decade from 1965, the first 15 years impacted microelectronics and other Asian coastal bet sme supply chains not computing as such until 1980s birth of pcs and pc networking)
You can see above dialogues play out in The Economist 1951-1984 and 40 year future history dialogues of which the most timely is 1984’s “2025 Report” on how community networking of health, safety and education, and women to be free to be as productive as men, could be mapped as valuable intergenerational agencies of post-industrial transformation.
From 1962 to 1975 The Economist mainly rehearsed future of places potential to change – what Intelligence designers now term “data sovereignty”. A decade of future history mediation 1976 to 1985 were cast as system transformations of entrepreneurial revolution, we’re all intrapreneurial now, and 2025 report.
befire 1963-5 kick off of 10*18 more tech Americans borlaug and deming shared agriculturak and quality engineering systems that the two thords of humans who are Asian most needed to have a chnace to nurture asian human development.

2025report.com aims to celebrate first 75 years that followers of Adam Smith , Commonwealth begun by Queen Victoria, James Wilson and dozens of Royal Societies, Keynes saw from being briefed 1951 by NET (Neumann Einstein Turing). Please contacts us if you have a positive contribution - we will log these at www.economistdiary.com/1976 www.economistdiary.com/2001 and www.economistdiary.com/2023 (admittedly a preview!!)
First a summary of what the NET asked to be meidiated to integrate trust during what they foresaw as a chaotic period.
Roughly they foresaw population growth quadrupling from 2 billion to 8 billion
They were most concerned that some people would access million times moore tech by 1995 another million times moore by 2015 another million times moore by 2025. Would those with such access unite good for all. If we go back to 1760s first decade that scots invented engines around Glash=gow University James Wat and diarist Adam Smith we can note this happened just over a quarter of millennium into age of empire. WE welcome corrections be this age appears to have been a hectic race between Portugal, Spain, France Britain Netherlands as probbly the first 5 to set the system pattern. I still dont understand was it ineviatble when say the Porttuguese king bet his nations shirt on navigation that this would involve agressive trades with guns forcing the terms of trade and colonisation often being a 2nd step and then a 3rd steb being taking slaves to do the work of building on a newly conquered land. I put this way because the NET were clear almost every place in 1951 needed to complete both independence and then interdependence of above zero sum trading games. Whils traidning things runs into zero sums (eg when there is overall scarcity) life critical knowhow or apps can multiplu=y value in use. Thats was a defining value in meidting how the neyt's new engineering was mapped. Of course this problem was from 1945 occuring in a world where war had typiclly done of the following to your place:
your capital cities had been flattened by bombing - necessitating architecture rebuild as well as perhaps an all chnage in land ownership
your peoples had gone through up to 6 years of barbaric occupation -how would this be mediated (public served) particularly if you were a nation moving from radio to television
yiu mifgt eb britain have been on winning side but if huge debt to arms you had bought
primarily you might be usa now expected by most outside USSR to lead every advance'
in population terms you might be inland rural (more than half of humans) where you had much the least knowledge on what had hapened because you had been left out of the era of connecting electricity and communications grids
The NETts overall summary : beware experts in energy will be the most hated but wanted by national leaders; and then far greater will be exponential risk is the most brilliant of connectors of our new engines will become even more hated and wanted. We should remember that the NET did not begin with lets design computers. They began with Einstein's 1905 publications; newtonian science is at the deepest limits systemically wrong for living with nature's rules.
WE can thrash through more understanding of how the NET mapped the challenges from 1951 at http://neumann.ning.com/ Unfortunatnely nobody knew that within 6 years of going massively public in 1951 with their new engineering visions, all of the net would be dead. One of the most amzaing documents I have ever seen is the last month's diary of von neumann roughly October 1955 before he became bedridden with cancer. All over usa engineering projects were receiving his last genius inputs. And yet more amazing for those interested in intelligence machines is his last curriculum the computer and the brain scribbled from his bedroom in bethesda and presented posthumously by his 2nd wife Klara at Yale 1957 before she took her own life about a year later. A great loss because while neumann had architected computers she had arguably been the chief coder. Just to be clear Turing also left behind a chief coder Jane who continued to work for Britain's defence planning at cheltenham for a couple of decades. Economistwomen.com I like to believe that the founders of brainworking machines foresaw not only that women coders would be as produytive as men but that they would linking sustainability from bottom up of every community. At least that is a valid way of looking at how primarily 1billion asian women batted the systemic poverty of being disconnected from the outside world even as coastal places leapt ahead with in some cases (G Silicon Valley, whatever you call Japan-Korea south-Taiwan-HK-Singapore access to all of 10**18 times moore

i lets leap froward from cop26 glasgow nov 2021 - 260th year of machines and humans started up by smith and watt- chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk-
WE APPROACH 65th year of Neumann's tech legacy - 100 times more tech decade - which some people call Industrial Rev 4 or Arttificial Intel blending with humans; co-author 2025report.com, networker foundation of The Economist's Norman Macrae -
my father The Economist's norman macrae was privileged to meet von neumann- his legacy of 100 times more tech per decade informed much of dad's dialogues with world leaders at The Economist - in active retirement dad's first project to be von neumanns official biographer - english edition ; recently published japanese edition - queries welcomed; in 1984 i co-authored 2025report.com - this was celebrating 12 th year that dad( from 1972, also year silicon valley was born) argued for entrepreneurial revolution (ie humanity to be sustainable would need to value on sme networks not big corporate nor big gov); final edition of 2025report is being updated - 1984's timelines foresaw need to prep for fall of brlin wall within a few months; purspoes of the 5 primary sdg markets were seen to be pivotal as they blended real and digital - ie efinance e-agri e-health e-learning and 100%lives matter community; the report charged public broadcasters starting with BBC with most vital challenge- by year 2000 ensure billions of people were debating man's biggest risk as discrepancy in incomes and expectations of rich & poor nations; mediated at the right time everyone could linkin ideas as first main use of digital webs--- the failure to do this has led to fake media, failures to encourage younger half of the world to maxinise borderless friendships and sdg collabs - see eg economistwomen.com abedmooc.com teachforsdgs.com ecop26.com as 2020s becomes last chance for youth to be teh sustainability generation
